Representations under the Licensing Act - Finding out an application has been made
The legislation requires that public notice is given of applications for provisional statements, new, full variation, minor variation or review of licences and club certificates.
The table below sets out how an application has to be publicised and who can make a representation about it. All notices at the premises have to be displayed on pale blue paper, apart from minor variations, which are on white paper.
